STATES MUST YIELD to the Atomic Energy Commission
(AEC) and not regulate the discharge of radioactive wastes from
nuclear power plants, the Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 yesterday.
The decision went against Minnesota in its effort to impose
tighter controls on a Mississippi River plant than those required by
the AEC.
Minnesota had urged that while the regulation of dangerous
activities belongs to the AEC alone, the states have a right to take
steps to protect the environment from pollution caused by low-level
wastes.
An opposite argument had been pressed by the Justice Depart-
ment, which told the court last month that there must be one na-
tionwide control system.

REP. LES ASPIN (D-Wisc.) announced yesterday that hej
would file suit in federal court to force disclosure of the Peers
Commission report on the My Lai massacre.
Following the probe, 25 military men were charged in connection
with the massacre or the cover-up that allegedly followed.
Seymour Hersh, the reporter who broke the story of the My Lai
massacre, claims to have a transcript of testimony before the Peers
Commission, which he says documents a second, larger massacre
near My Lai.
The Army has refused to release the Peers report.
THE SUPREME COURT ruled, 5 to 2 yesterday that states
may not automatically take away the children of unwed fathers.
Dealing with an appeal of a Chicago man, the court said a
natural parent-male or female-should have a chance to prove his
fitness.
"It may be, as the state insists, that most unmarried fathers are
neglectful parents," said Justice Byron White, ". . . But all unmar-
ried fathers are not in this category. Some are wholly suited to have
custody of their children."
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY and the Michigan Education
Association (MEA) are rewording petitions on tax-reform pro-
grams to support public schools.
The separate drives must now start again from zero to find the
necessary 265,000 signatures to put their proposed constitutionalI
amendments on the November ballot.
The proposed changes in the tax structure are designed to shift
more of the burden of paying for state schools from property taxes
to income tax.
The MEA plan, supported by Governor Milliken, will treat low-
ering property taxes, and a graduated income tax on separate peti-
tions.j
The Democratic proposal, expected to be distributed next week
will limit the taxes that school districts and other local units can levy.
The deadline for election officials to approve the petition for theI
November vote is July 1.1

Blacks file Sui*
'seek integrated
Catholic schools
NEW ORLEANS, La. (R) - A group of black parents filed
suit yesterday against the Roman Catholic diocese of Alex-
andria, La., claiming that its parochial school system was
segregated and "served as a haven for white families fleeing
public school desegregation orders."
The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Shreveport,
asks thatthe .29-parish or county diocese be ordered to inte-
grate its school system by this fall or lose tax-exempt status
and federal aid.
"In 1971-72,' the parochial school system consisted of 35
schools, with a total enrollment of 10,900 students," the suit
said. "About 20 per cent of these students are black. Also, 25
of these schools have 90 per cent or more white student en-
rollment, while 8 have 80 per cent or more black student
enrollment." 4-

SAN JOSE, Calif. (P) - James
Kean, a newspaper photographer
for the San Rafael Independent
Journal testified at the Angelaf
Davis murder - kidnap - conspir-
acy trial yesterday that convict
James McClain had demanded
freedom for the Soledad Brothersj
as he led three women jurors,aan
assistant district attorney and
Superior Court Judge Harold Ha-
ley to a courthouse elevator at
gunpoint.
During the shootout that fol-
lowed minutes later, Judge Haley,
McClain, convict William Christ-
mas and Jackson were killed.
At last Wednesday's session of,
the trial, three witnesses gave
differing accounts of what had
cmx-i
GUL

transpired during the 1970 shoot-
out.
The state claims that the Au-
gust 7, 1960 shootout at the Marin
County Civic Center at San Ra-
fael was engineered by Davis to
rescue one of the three men-
prison author GeorgeJackson.
Davis pleaded innocent to mur-
der, k i d n a p and conspiracy
charges.
Later on yesterday, Asst. Atty.
Gen. Albert Harris Jr. entered in
evidence a rifle which Capt. Har-
vey Teague of the Marin County
sheriff's department said was giv-
en to him by an officer near the
van. The rifle - a Plainfield car-
bine, serial No. 18052 - was reg-
istered as purchased by Davis on
July 25, 1970, at the Western Sur-
plus store in Los Angeles.

Ben Lamberton, a Washington
attorney who helped prepare the
suit, said the action will "give us
the means to close one of the most
substantial loopholes in the whole
integration situation. It will give
us a chance to close the doors to
white flight."
"The parochial school system
has served to undercut the de-
segregation orders of the federal
courts," the suit claimed.
Lamberton said Louisiana was
chosen for the initial effort in the
field of parochial school desegre-
gation mainly because it has "the
biggest -concentration of b 1 a c k
Catholics in the country."
The suit accuses the Alexandria
diocese of maintaining a dual
school system and asks for court-
imposed desegregation equivalent
Sto that imposed on the public
school system.
"We have a number of d u a l
school situations, one black and
one white right next to it or fair-!
ly close to it," Lamberton said.
"Coupled with that, there has
been an increase in enrollment in
the white schools after public
school desegregation and a sub-
stantial increase in the number
of non-Catholic white children at-
tending parochial schools," he
said.
The suit cites four legal grounds
for federal court action.

Policeman
discusses
Seale case
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (/P-Form-
er New. Haven Police Chief and
member of the President's Com-
mission on Campus Unrest James
Aherd says he was astonished
when Arnold Markle, a local pro-
secutor, sought an indictment of
Black Panther National Chairman
Bobby Seale in the Alex Rackley
murder case three years ago.
"We the police had no solid evi-
'dence to link him to Rackley's
'death," Ahern writes in his book
about to be published.
Ahern was the New Haven police
chief in May 1969 when the body
of Rackley, a New York City
Panther, was found in a swamp in
Middlefield, about 20 miles north-
east of here. The state contended
that Rackley was a suspected po-
lice informer.
The basic allegation in the in-
dictment against Seale was that
during a speaking visit to Yale
he had stopped off at local Pan-
ther headquarters while Rackley
was there and had giveX the un-
derlings an order to. kill him.
Ahern writes that police "had
evidence that Seale had visited
the Orchard Street apartment
while Rackley was there," but
adds: "Despite my personal feel-
ings about the case, it~ was a fact
that there was not sufficient hard
evidence against Seale."
